Mishle 15:26-28

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁶ The thoughts of the rah are a to’evah to Hashem, but the words of the tehorim (pure ones) are pleasant.

²⁷ He that is greedy of unjust gain troubleth his own bais, but he that hateth mattanot (bribes) shall live.

²⁸ The lev tzaddik studieth how to answer, but the peh (mouth) of the resha’im poureth out evil things.
